Job description

Postdoctoral Fellow in Neutron Diffraction Studies of Novel Electrode Materials

Datum: 8 juni, 2026 Tid: 11:59

Placering: ESS

Mer information

The ESS Science Directorate invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow position in the Diffraction & Imaging Division. The Diffraction and Imaging Division is home to the instrument scientists and instrument operations engineersworking on designing, constructing, and operating the DREAM, MAGiC, BEER, HEIMDAL, ODIN, and TBL beamlines. This position is associated with the powder diffractometer DREAM.

About the role:

ESS is searching for an engaged and motivated Postdoctoral Fellow to work within the Diffraction & Imaging Division. The work will be focused on experimental studies of novel nanoparticle electrode materials for Li/Na-ion batteries. In particular, the correlation between crystal structure/morphology of nanoparticles and battery performance will be studied by a combination of neutron powder diffraction (NPD), neutron pair-distribution function (nPDF), and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) measurements. Design of the experiments, data reduction, and data analysis are essential responsibilities for this position.
